Abstract
The invention relates to a compressed gas storage tank, in particular for a motor vehicle, with a holder that is designed to store a compressed fuel, and with at least one pressure relief valve. Fuel is dischargeable from the holder into environment of the compressed gas tank due to the opening of at least one pressure relief valve. A catalytic converter device of the compressed gas storage tank is designed to catalyze an oxidation reaction of fuel originating from the holder with oxygen. The compressed gas storage tank has at least one piezoelectric element to which a pressure can be applied by opening the at least one pressure relief valve. Through the pressure, at least one spark can be generated by means of the at least one piezoelectric element. The invention furthermore relates to a method for operating a compressed gas storage tank of said type.
